[candr91]

unbelievable



[brunnytangerine]

newton faulkner is a god...... yes its not the amazing original BUT he has made it his own and done what know else has done by making it an acoustic piece and added loads of his own little riffs in which makes it insane! appreciate the amazing sound of this beautiful piece of music.

[NinePointFourOne]

This is just one of those songs that you shouldn't make a cover of, but he did a better job than most other people would.

[thejigisup1]

pretty fookin good

[MegaJohn101]

its nice but its not Freddie is it.

[TheAleksMichel]

@MegaJohn101 stop saying hes not freddie. of course he isnt freddie is a legend newton is fantastic...se the difference? but these artiste re fed up that we compare them to the originals all the time...

[misterzeerow]

@MegaJohn101 no shit captain obvious ? youre the kinda guy that runs around the village telling people about how uncomfortable his bowel movement was right...?

[NnintendoGamer4911]

ive met newton in person!!

[geefly71]

what a lad! top banana!

[DalischaCreations]

And I love your style. Rastafari

[poooo922]

Hah.. i still get the shivers everytime i hear 'nothing really matters' near the end

[gareth1101]

what this guy can do wiv an guitar is amazing!!! that solo was amazing even if 1 or 2 notes wernt perfect, that was brilliant!

[369hand369]

lol batman belt

[C00Lcat69]

is that guitar distorted at 3:44....?????

[p3rs0n42]

@C00Lcat69 I think so

[MatyouLoyd]

1:02 OOOUUUUCH xD

[dentures100]

@MatyouLoyd you got that right.

[mrskateeee]

THAT WAS MAJESTICAL!? :D

[sk8borntodie]

[analfrost]

[TerrySH1971]

WOW! End of.

[DumuRaL]

Haha, cool batman belt buckle XD

[afterdinnermint2]

3.54 is just sexy love it

[nanacoool]

he just made me dream!

[P4u1yB0805]

the world's greatest busker :) fucking awesome musician 10/10 for performance and vid

[afterdinnermint2]

@P4u1yB0805 imagine how much he could earn busking, probably like a full time wage in a two hour set, easy.

[P4u1yB0805]

haha yeah, he's the original one man band- going to see him soon, cant wait

thanks you for reply my friend:)

[cpowell04]

@afterdinnermint2 Unfortunately Not, If he busked in London- Which if I recall my friend said he did. He doesn't get much at all, not really apprieciated as much.

I did have your perspective on the busking at first, but now I am completely unsure!

[afterdinnermint2]

no way thats like well harsh. Maybe that means that average guitar players like myself are actually as amazing as newton but haven't had the opportunity to gig. know what i mean? there's still hope..........

[BrandHope]

OO

 o wow

[LullaaByy]

haha i second that.

when he smiles when he makes the mistakes.. cute.

[xseamonsterx]

wow :]

I loved it xD

it's funny when he makes mistakes n grins haha, what a legend

Great cover :]

[lozzaford]

awgh your all so fucking childish ! grow up ¬_¬

[MansexQueen857]

<3 Batman Belt <3

great cover =]

[theXEROproxy]

he's definitely wearing a batman belt. o yea and its good too. 5stars

[kathrynnnnnnnnn]

batman belt FTW!!

[hughh20]

77,000th view :) had to point that out....

awesome song, makes me feel happy inside

[Natalie123Gray]

jeez i only said stop replying back to me.

[KingOrgasmusTwo]

freddie mercury died of aids

[evilroman1]

erm.. random....

[georgo342]

ohk i thought we all knew that

[robinfinckisgod]

actually, he died of broncho pneumonia

[Natalie123Gray]

i was just saying.

[jadeevelynthompson]

<3  i love this

[Natalie123Gray]

no where as good as the original

[TheOneAndOnlyIt]

I don't think you can compare a rock version with a four man band to an acoutic version with just one guy and his guitar.

Both versions are awesome either way.

[MatyouLoyd]

@TheOneAndOnlyIt Yeah you're right. Newton is awesome.....

[gibbo191]

obviously not supposed to be man its just for the fans and a mess aorund at one of his gigs

[Benguitarfreak]

what guitar make does he use? because i love the sound of his guitar!

[flashtimeonline]

Its in a particular tuning, thats what makes it sound the way it does

[ROCSTA13]

newtons guitar is made by

nick benjamin

[MelleB90]

I want to know that too!

[MelleB90]

and I just found out.

He uses a guitar made by Nick Benjamin, an English luthier

copied from benjaminguitars website:

"You can see Newton using his BENJAMIN guitars at all the main festivals this year, including; the Isle of Wight Festival, Glastonbury etc, etc! I am currently making Newton a BARITONE guitar which will be his fifth Benjamin guitar!"

[lofty25]

newton would be massive hit in the drunken stages of a party

[Sjouwelke]

watch: 'christophe punk zingt opera in Mercator op één'! Super Newton!!! ;-)

[ParkourPRINCE]

i love newton what a performer

[mostlyeatingbourbon]

That was awesome!! I was singin along! Wish i was there... :D

[playasven]

if the faggot crowd would stop singin along it would be good

[Gelboy312]

LOL

[kirkguitar123]

luv this bit! 3:52

[acisanob]

Thats incredible! he's awesome.

[ashantifan1224]

fun show :)

[MeneghelloPie]

Skills with an acoustic.

Muchos crazy ones.

[draiman2000]

Couple of little tiny mistakes... But considering this is supposed to be played with a full band and it's just one man with an acoustic guitar and his voice, he did a bloody great job... Even better considering he done it this well live. I would challenge all of you who have critisized this song like mad to get up on stage and do a cover of this song... I would if I knew it on guitar and if I could sing lol

[HappyJuiceMusic]

What are you talking about?

He was saying he did it well :S

[caughtbytheflash]

this song is meant for an epic band, not one guy and an acoustic. He did fekking well if you ask me.

[mduquenoy]

@caughtbytheflash I saw him do this live at Beautiful Days concert last weekend, he closed his set with it and it was incredible. 5,000 people sang every word with him. Was superbly played and was amazing to see how one man and a guitar can move so many people.

[chiefen75]

What some peoples doesnt understand is that this is entertainment. This guy covers the song with one instrument and yes he misses some things but this is a live performance. If this guy comes to the local pub he would have the whole place singalong. Its not fair to compare him to Mercury because nobody can sing like Freddy but I cant imagein NF believes that either. So peeps just enjoy an eccellent interpretation of this masterpicese and dont be so quick to remark on tiny faults.

GREAT SHOW

[rafterman2ky]

im a big fan of NF, but that was a disaster from start to end!!!

[seanogwalsh]

Freddie was unique. And no-one will ever be able to copy or imitate him. The point of doing a cover is to put a new spin on a song. And i think Newton does this well

[johnbea5]

The very start sounds so shit, but you have to listen to it all, tis an amazing song!:P

[cjp10]

he aint meant to be like freddie though, no one comes close to mr mercury. his version is more what everyone does when they are in private and this song comes on, singing evry line by yourself, its jus a really good, fun version

[TheGreenFrog95]

I'm sorry "lynzifer85", but what is wrong with this? His took the work of a legend, a very complex and challenging song, and made it his own. I think if you can't even admire that then you shouldn't be listening to newton faulkner. . .

[lynzifer85]

mr green frog i have nothing against newto- in general i like his stuff i mean he's obviously a talented guy..............this cover is the exception but it doesnt make it any less painful 2listen 2!! u saying its a complex and challenging song only backs up my point-some songs should not be covered.please dont be so ignorant as to question my music taste on one bad cover

[TheGreenFrog95]

i understand what your saying, but all i said is its very complex and challenging. "If you cant admire that" then you shouldn't be listening to newton. I didn't say you have to like it. . . i find "my ears are bleeding" doesn't seem to be a legitimate comment for someone who understands the difficulty of this song. . . If you think its a bad cover, then i really don't care. People can listen to what they like.

[xxswedenxx]

He did WHAT NOW?!

[laDbird]

AWESOME! i agree tho no Freddy but very tallented! :)

[kikatron]

heh, he messed up one note. I needed to hear the real song after so as to cleanse this version out of my head for the rest of the day. this performance was great, it's just that I know we'll all agree he's no Freddie.

[thestainisgone485]

i dont like all of his songs there a little too soft

i like his percussive stuff

overall hes amazing

[AhalleyL]

one word: FANTASTIC!!!!

[ElliB1234]

THIS IS AMAZING!

[Twinkle1911]

this guy is amazing!!

[Jeeperano]

healthy audience !! hehe i loved this one

[eggnog8poo]

i dnt think his trying to beat queen but this is amazing

[rgeo81]

i only just discovered this guy n think his great...love all his songs, this song is not his best one but he gets the crowed involved and they are having great fun by the looks of it.

[sconehead54]

not as good as the original, but it is a difficult one. this guy is a great entertainer.

[RsJay2]

not a great singer but who gives a shit!! =D

fuckin amazing!

[kcajb]

"not a great singer" have a listen to some of his other stuff .... not my type of music but hes a good singer i reckon =)

[HarryWateTheGreat]

Pure excellence!

[jamiepds]

sorry i thought that as rubbish,ive seen a few others of him singing this, thought they were crap as well

[loveebec]

listen to 'gone in the morning' and im pretty sure you will like it.

[ragegod1]

he misses a note a 1.02

[0Drwatson0]

lol lets see you play and sing it

[loveebec]

oh wahhh!

[facejobby]

old newt faulk what a legend, get the ablum peeps

[jbeatie]

Has anyone found a video without a tone deaf crowd? Faulkner's other videos are great because you can actually hear him instead of an out of tune crowd. How do you tune a crowd of 300? Shoot all but 1!

[blueravine08]

Wow, only the second vid i've watched by Newton Faulkner , and i love queen, never thought only one person could make all those sounds, genius!

[Shredaholic321]

lmao @ 4:36

[todioliver]

:-  :)

[Iamamba]

one word = awesome!

(:

x

[Kennard313]

He's such a talented guitarist even if you do prefer the originial you gotta admit he managed to pull the song off really well, for just him and a guitar thats brilliant 5 stars

[CasedLogic]

Does anyone know the tuning for this song? if you do please reply

[hairmeistergeneral]

its in DADGAD but down a semitone so its C#G#C#F#G#C#... doesnt roll off the tongue quite like dadgad.

[mckenco]

this is miles better than the original!!! The original has a horrible sound and is the most overrated song in history.....the equivalent of Ronaldo to football!

[Bacinator]

and you are probably the stupiest thing on earth.

it's good but.. lol,better than the original .... lmao

queen > all.

[mtzpresente]

jha

idiot

queen 4ever

[roobrothers]

To be honesrt I quite liked his song dream catch me. Just this attempt that i thought was pheasant pluckin awful. but I am not disputing his talant as a singer songwriter, he's great.

[roobrothers]

That was Disgustingly Awful? It was twangy and out of tune and sucked plums!!

[HappyJuiceMusic]

If you listened to his other stuff, you'd realise that his guitar sounds better "twangy"

[hunniebunnie27]

The Guy is awesome !!

[noelgallagher1967]

no1 should ever touch this song

[dingbatthe1st]

Why? Surely the biggest compliment any performer can give is to cover a song. You always have the original!

[HaditaBlue]

i really liked!!

[kazzy89]

anyone wo has bad things to say about this guy are deluded. his voice is amazing, his guitar talent is amazing, yeah the dreds are a little bit strange but for fucks sake, its about the music!

[robwhite23]

i dont no how any one could learn how to play the guitar that uniquelly and at the same time that brilliantly

[BornToBeWiild]

He was in a town about 30 mins from me on the night of my birthday! I never got to go either! GUTTED! He is AMAZING :)

[avylad]

Whoa awesome! =D n the mistake proves he's human hahah

[spillerpap]

Fantastic

[claireywench]

the guy who posted below me has obviously not heard newton faulkners own music and doesnt seem to have any taste in his body at all.

[kazzy89]

shut up you absolute turd. have you listened to any of his other music? he has the most amazing voice i have ever heard.

[IronKross666]

he dosent get enuff credit, not by far.

[colinswilly]

ya fukin mika won best newcomer in the brits??????? ammmm we hav seen the best british thing since the beatles!!! and this comin from an irish man

[MuNkYBizNess]

you won't even hear about mika a coupla years down the line, sadly thats how the music scene works these days

[mhf197]

Awesome. Not sure who is better on guitar, him or Rodrigo y Gabriela (who were also at Byron). But all of them are awesome in their own right.

[jaigantic]

I saw this dude at Bluesfest in Byron Bay in Australia over the weekend... I had never heard of him, and at first was kind of impressed.. Then he did this song, and I think it is the single best thing I have seen done on a single guitar ever.. haha. Legend!

Jai

[gramesbond]

i saw him in dublin last night the man is a legend, cant wait till oxegen so i can see him again! :)

[Rubber5oul]

Saw him last night in Belfast too, best gig I've been to in a long time.

[Squidgey07]

Saw him last nite in belfast....awesome, the mans a mucical genius, so down to earth, crowd pleaser!! Rare these days!!!

[Garnetto616]

Why didn't we get this in Notts?????!!!!!!!

Best thing in music atm.. proper British talent! Fantastic live show aswell! Which is fairly rare nowadays

This is just awesome.. Thanks for posting!

[AadamMoha]

INCREDIBLE!!! love him so much! his music is amazing!

[Bennybbz]

He is truely gifted at the guitar.

[Maltbee]

I saw him perform this at Shepherds Bush, London. Just fantasic.

AND CHECK OUT THAT BELT!! This man ROCKS!! ;o)

[thescagheads]

That was awesome!

[physicalcult]

wow. Didn't think it was possible on a solo guitar...now I don't have an excuse anymore. Thanks Newton. :(

[jobobulator]

i hate this song origianally but he makes good of it by miles. great quality too, nicely done!
